tintingz:
There is a link I dropped above go check it out and besides Dr Andrew is not even sure about some of his claims like Se.un said.

You're yet to show me how shamans speaking in tongue is differ from christian.

# Shaman dance to spiritual songs, Christians do same.

# Shamans speak in secret tongue that were pass from generation(your claim), Christians speak the same tongue that they heard from their parents, pastors etc.

Tah, he didn't did an experiment on other belief, religion that speaks in tongue.

Emmanystone:

Stop lying to yourself. You were never a Christian. A tare that's what you were. Now that fruit time has come, its showing.

jonbellion:
ok

naijadeyhia:


My 24yr old young man GENUINELY give your life to Christ and have a personal bonafide experience. All these your zig zaging is meaningless as the end of the day.

Firstly your expectation was wrong. You were trying to condition the Holy Spirit which can never happen. He is boss and not you.

You got to campus and then drew a conclusion because of the people you saw who were speaking in tongues as if they are the standard set by the Holy Spirit.

On both counts you got it wrong

Seun:
When I gave my life to Christ at Foursquare Gospel Church, I was in JSS 1. After we said the sinner's prayer, our Sunday School teacher tried to get us baptised in the Holy Spirit. I was waiting for the Holy Spirit to descend on me and make me speak in tongues, but I didn't feel anything. Most of the girls started speaking in tongues, but I got nothing. I earnestly and sincerely ask God for it, but nothing happened.

When I got to Ife and started attending ECU, the fellowship my parents attended, we had to take a membership class and my teacher and his best friend also tried to get me baptised in the Holy Spirit to no avail. I remember them taking me to the sports center and praying with me and urging me to speak. I patiently waited for the Holy Spirit to descend on me but nothing happened. Then they had to explain that speaking in tongues is by faith. God supplies the word, and we speak them out, they said. To me it sounded as if they were encouraging me to fake it, and suggesting that everyone fakes it, but I just couldn't accept that. I wanted to experience it genuinely, like the apostles did in the bible.

So one day, as I was praying very intensely in my room, I felt a subtle urge to start saying some nonsense words that came to my mind, and I did. And once I started, I found that new words came to my mind and I could continue speaking them. That's how I started speaking in tongues. In my fellowship, it was common for the pastors to ask everyone to start speaking in tongues during worship; now I could join in! But it was also a bit of a disappointment because the experience was emotional, not supernatural. The Holy Spirit didn't take over my body.

When I was re-watching Sinach's video to transcribe her tongues, I actually felt the urge to speak in tongues again. I think listening to the beautiful way she sang the tongues triggered something in me. I bet I can still speak in tongues today if I choose to succumb to the feeling.

jonbellion:
been there done that

LaClicKLaBenDin:
They have done all their research, and armed themselves with plenty weapons and now they have invaded the thread.... All in a bid to disprove their darling science which isn't in their favour this time.

Very predictable people.

Ranchhoddas:
What other conclusion was I draw? You'd be walking on the road and someone would walk part you speaking in tongues. I went to BLW one day and the pastor came on the pulpit and told everyone to begin to speak in tongues and on cue everyone started to speak. It was frightening.

naijadeyhia:


With your own mouth you said you havent so why change your comment now? You were never there and you never did anything.

Remember you still have years to go and are only 24 (that was your comment)

Emmanystone:

lol@ their darling Science.

jonbellion:
huh??
I said I have never been interested in that speaking in tounges
I never said I haven't given my life to Christ!

naijadeyhia:


You cannot GIVE your life to Christ WITHOUT having the HUNGER for the HOLY SPIRIT. The Holy Ghost Baptism completes you as a believer. Its the seal of God upon your life.

You were never Born again previously.

foladara777:

- u don't see anything. Don't assume. I speak in tongues too, I have literally fallen under the 'anointing' too but that's not enough proof that the holy spirit is responsible... I don't believe that an all powerful God requires people to fall and wound themselves or sometimes expose their underwear for an almighty being t impart them

jonbellion:
whaaaaaaa??
Oh brother

jonbellion:
and what of denominations that do not see the need
I'm sure they were never truly christians

naijadeyhia:


They are not part of the flock. Religion is not Relationship

jonbellion:

Ooh lord

naijadeyhia:



That person was edifying HIMSELF or HERSELF and its actually part of what speaking in tongues does (if Genuine).

Regarding your BLW experience my advice is ....Go get Baptized in the Holy Ghost and it will all become clear to you.

Ranchhoddas:
How does this happen? Laying of hands? I had an experience once

Seun:

Correction: I didn't say it was "not spiritual". I said it was not supernatural. It was as spiritual as any actual religious experience.

jonbellion:
whaaaaaaa??
Oh brother

Emmanystone:

What??.
it's Spiritual but not supernatural? What? So, the supernatural operates differently from the Spiritual. This is new. Pls Seun teach me something new.

Emmanystone:

Again, you didn't say that.
Do you remember Urheme? He was an Atheist here, just like you. He also said they were no demons. Ask him now will you?

jizzus:

Really urheme is just as delusional as you,dude was just Agnostic he wasn't an atheist....

naijadeyhia:



I guess the one who was an Atheist no longer knows he was and you are now defining him on his behalf simply because he has found Jesus.

You actually are the deluded one boy.

Na so na... sometimes I dey even forget wetin science be, I go dey think say na human being...
